March, 2011













All is going well. Work for me - love my clients, chose the right field, really understand why people get away from management. Too many people too far removed...so many Dilbert Comic Strips are ringing true with management in Arizona Behavioral Health. I'm envying George his re-careering...and he continues to enjoy teaching.
Maddie is loving Daddy home too. More time for Secret Agent Spies, playing with her super-hero collection. She's making strides with her reading...so fun to watch the learning process and be a part of it. Nothing is better than snuggling up nightly to journey into books that take me back to my childhood. I miss my Mom and wish she were here to share all of this with us...but daily am so thankful for the lessons she taught. I feel I'm a better mother because I learned from her.
We celebrated Dad's 80th birthday and St. Patricks Day together as Bel and Keith were in town from San Diego. I made Mom'd wonderful pineapple upside cake - a family favorite and we all had a fun family time.
Maddie continues to love school...but soon a change will be happening as in 8/11 she will start Kindergarten!! She also continues to love and be quite serious about Tae Kwon Do.

February, 2011







































SOOOOOO enjoying having George home and teaching/working from home. He's love being out of the rat race and spending more time with Maddie. Maddie is growing like a weed...and we love her more with each passing minute.

We celebrated Chinese New Year with decorating Chinese fortune cookies with Rylan and Kael. Maddie is a pretty big fan of cooking.

Bohti continues to be a good member of the household. He is a climber...but it's good to see he's relaxing in his environment and not so skiddish.

We enjoyed going to the Chinese Cultural Center for their Chinese New Year celebration. Some of our pictures didn't turn out...but Maddie was enthralled (as were we) with the Dragon Dance. We also loved the arts and crafts there. Dad enjoyed coming with us too :)

Maddie continues to do so very well in Tae Kwon Do and loves it. She is very studious...pays close attention and practices daily on her own.

And...just goofed around. Hope the new year is treating all well.
